My boss is on my back, my job's on the line

Little high on the bills, a little low on the dime

The world's gone to hell on the five o'clock news

But out on this lake, we got hard times here too

I got some reel problems like some cold beers to crack

Got a hole in my net and an old-fashioned backlash

Yeah, some reel problems like a big ol' bird's nest

There's ten pounds of bass on my seven-pound test

And I'm hung up on a log on the bottom

Yeah, I got myself some reel problems

Some rod and reel problems

My baby just called me, she says we're through

Said she hates my guts, and her momma does too

Well, I oughta head home now

We could quit all this fighting

But I can't just leave, son, they just started biting

Got me some reel problems like some cold beers to crack

Got a hole in my net and a good old-fashioned backlash

Yeah, some reel problems like a big ol' bird's nest

There's ten pounds of bass on my seven-pound test

And I'm hung up on the log down on the bottom

Yeah, I got myself some reel problems

Oh, we in trouble, boy

And just when I was about to head in

Well, hold on, I just cut the bait

Guess I got myself some reel problems

Like some cold beers to crack

Got a hole in my net and an old-fashioned backlash

Yeah, some reel problems like a big ol' bird's nest

There's ten pounds of bass on this seven-pound test

And I'm hung up on a log on the bottom

I got myself some reel problems

Some rod and reel problems
